	The Cryonics Institute Home Page
		As an optional extra (at extra cost) a Cryonics Institute Member may contract for cryonics professionals from Suspended Animation, Inc. to wait by the bedside during a terminal condition and immediately begin cooling and cardiopulmonary support upon pronouncement of death to minimize brain damage.
		In the world of cryonics, this is the source to visit, and the place to be.

	Cryonics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cryonics advocates counter that demonstrably reversible preservation is not necessary to achieve the present-day goal of cryonics, which is preservation of basic brain information that encodes memory and personal identity.
		Cryonics suffered a major setback [6] in 1979 when it was discovered that nine bodies stored by CSC in a cemetery in Chatsworth, California, thawed due to depletion of funds.
		Cryonics advocates saw the nascent field of nanotechnology as vindication of their long held view [8] that molecular repair of injured tissue was theoretically possible.

	BBC NEWS \| World \| Cryonics: Freezing for the future?
		Cryonics effectively involves having your dead body or brain placed in cold storage in the hope that scientists will one day develop the ability to restore life and vitality.
		Cryonics began in the United States in 1967, when Dr James Bedford became the first person to be preserved after his death.
		Cryonic freezing involves using liquid nitrogen to cool the body until the process of molecular decay of a dead person's cells stops.

	CRYONICS: THE ISSUES
		A cryonics organization cannot risk spending large amounts of money on services, equipment and transport costs only to discover that the person had written a Will requesting burial, that financing is inadequate, that relatives vehemently oppose cryonics or that the funding is tied-up in probate.
		Cryonics organizations are not money-making rackets, they are the creations of people who are trying to build their own lifeboats.
		Cryonics organizations are controlled by people wanting to save their own lives and the lives of their loved-ones.

	Cryonics
		Cryonics is the practice of preserving organisms by storing them at cryogenic temperatures where metabolism and decay are almost completely stopped.
		But critics of the field contend that, while an interesting technical idea, cryonics is currently little more than a pipedream, that current "patients" will never be successfully revived, and that decades of research, at least, must occur before cryonics is to be a legitimate field with any hope of success.
		Some critics have speculated that because a cryonics patient has been declared legally dead, their organs are dead, and thus unable to allow cryoprotectants to reach the majority of cells.

	CRYONICS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Cryonics is the rapid cooling of a person's body in liquid nitrogen in order to preserve their DNA and tissue cells.
		One of the main reasons a person might be reluctant to pursue cryonics as an alternative to being buried or cremated is the issue of whether or not a cryonically "suspended" patient can be resuscitate and solutions to possible side-effects and damage to the brain, such as memory loss and cell freezing damage.
		Regardless of the rebuttals when suggesting cryonic suspension; regardless of the immediate rejection of the concept, I have yet to speak to someone who does not have some dream, some wish that yes, indeed, it would be extraordinary if in fact life could be suspended for a cure.

	Cryonics
		Cryonics is the only option for life extension open to many older and seriously ill people: those who cannot wait for the promised therapies of the next few decades.
		A small industry of cryonics providers exists to freeze or vitrify your body on death, in the hopes that future scientists (most likely using nanotechnology and nanomedicine) will be able to revive and repair you.
		Cryonics was in the news throughout 2003 and early 2004, largely thanks to the cryopreservation of baseball star Ted Williams and the ensuing high profile family fight over his will.

	Nanotechnology and Cryonics
		The hope of cryonics was based on faith that new technologies would continue to develop so that, perhaps 200 years in the future, the frozen could be revived.
		It was likely that, no matter how well-intentioned the cryonics organization, after a number of years or decades, the cryonics organization would dissolve, or the people caring for the frozen bodies would lose the will or the resources to continue.
		Those signed up for cryonic suspension wear a necktag or bracelet that has the phone number of the cryonics organization and tells medical personnel what to do if the patient is legally dead before the cryonics people arrive.

	Cryonics, by Mark Prado
		Cryonics -- be frozen in the hope that future technology and people will bring you back to life.
		Once you've paid for the stainless steel canister and all the labor, transport, equipment and overhead for getting the deceased from their place of death to the cryonics morgue and into the canister, from that point in time onward the main cost is replacing liquid nitrogen that boils off.
		Cryonics companies, if set up very well legally and administratively, should be one of the most solid and long-lived businesses of today.

		If cryonics is going to fulfill its promise, if cryonics is going to survive at all, it needs acceptance and support from the general public and the scientific community.

	Cryonics Survey
		Cryonics has been defined as "the technology for freezing a person after a terminal illness or a fatal accident, in the hope that medical science will be able to revive that person in the future, when life extension and anti-aging have become a reality".
		The values in Table 3 suggest that people perceive cryonics as unaffordable, and they have mildly negative feelings about what the impact of being frozen would be on their friends and relatives as well as not having those friends or relatives around when they are revived in some future time.
		When presented with factors which might favorably dispose them to cryonics, Group #1 appeared to be the group most motivated by the idea of large numbers of other people signing up and to the idea of cryonics being recommended by their physician, while Group #2 disagreed most strongly with these items.
